I hate the BCS and the system to the point that I am willing to go back to pre-BCS bowl matchups. Because, at the end of the day, they will mean the same to me as they did before. Glorified exhibitions...
I think what he meant was that if the government somehow kills the BCS, they still aren't going to go to a playoff. In that case, the schools wouldn't be walking away from millions, they'd be forced to ditch a system that was thriving. So, instead of working together to maximize the income for everyone (including precious little Boise State), they'd just go back to letting conferences/schools negotiate their own deals. The power players would still make money. Not as much money probably, but still money. Unfortunately for the crybabies, they'll be back to making shit and still not fulfill this pipedream they have of playing for national championships.
It wouldn't "murder the sport" by any means, but it would be really counterproductive to press the issue to that point.
